These objects, deposited in the tombs of the Egyptian\u0000 elites between the end of the Old Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom to guarantee\u0000 the deceased a wholesome rebirth, come from excavations carried out or purchased\u0000 by W.M F. Petrie in Egypt. Complete or fragmentary, with an often unclear\u0000 archaeological context, these objects constitute a particularly interesting\u0000 source of information on wood craftsmanship. The comparative study of this\u0000 material will shed new light on this form of artisanal production by specifying\u0000 its chronology and origins, but also on the archaeological works and the\u0000 acquisitions of Petrie in Egypt from the end of the 19 th century.","PeriodicalId":51946,"journal":{"name":"Archaeology International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47274073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
